Policy - Equipment Purchasing

All campus media equipment and media software purchases, that are to be supported by Media Technology Services, must be approved by the director of Media Technology Services (or the chief information officer).

Purchases falling under this designation include, but are not limited to: cameras, camcorders, projectors (of any type), VCRs, DVD/CD players, sound system components, radio or TV broadcasting equipment, media editing software, and any electronic equipment installed in a high-tech classroom or Distance Education facility.

Departments and units should seek Media Technology Services input prior to the preparation of a Purchase Requisition (PR) in order to ensure: the best price available; suitable vendors adherence to campus standards and compatibility; matching equipment/software to needs; and advance scheduling of installation and testing by Media Technology Services personnel.

If you have questions, please contact Colleen Garrity, Director of Media Technology Services at (608)342-1628 or garrity@uwplatt.edu. You may also visit us on the 8th floor of the Pioneer Tower.
